K Pop is Black culture , respect the source- Korean woman

[Lonj]

It became easier for Korea to supplant the minute the standards got watered down. This why the standards were so important.



Korea been trying to run the play for decades but they couldn't get traction cause it used to be way more obvious they were just cheap imitations.

Whats black about this

sounds pop to me

What you MEAN!? there’s Black influences all THROUGH these videos!

Off the top I see influences of Black soul, RNB, and Pop.

The marvelettes ,The supremes, Martha and the vandellas, B2k, Chris brown, new addition…

When have you seen white “POP” ARTISTS with this much style?

What race are you to not see this?

Korea def hijacked the Black music and style aesthetic of the late 90s and early 2000s and made it more palatable to the masses.

They didn't make it more palatable to the masses; the sound(s), sonics, aesthetics and the overall machine they're emulating were already a global pop cultural phenomema in REAL TIME in the eras they came from

Kpop just brought it back for a generation of people who weren't around to witness those eras

Yea they didn't make it more palatable, their skin color was the palatability

Begrudgingly giving black credit didn’t benefit us with jazz, blues, rock, disco or country music.

Just cut the damn check when you steal from us. That’s the one thing nobody is ever willing to do

Spoiler: K-Pop is not Black culture.

K-Pop appropriates Black culture, there is a difference. When OP said "systemized through an Korean entertainment industry machine..." this is an articulation of appropriation. The appropriation of Black culture by Koreans to produce K-Pop is systematic and institutional similar to other modes of institutional racism against Black people by appropriating Black culture without crediting Black people as the creators and beneficiaries of their intellectual and cultural property.

Words like "copy... borrowed... stolen... taken..." instead of "appropriate" make a statement like "K-Pop is Black culture," appear to be less harmful than it really is. To make K-Pop a part of Black culture by saying it is Black culture makes the Korean entertainment industry machine, and Koreans by extension part of Black culture. They are not. Stop lettin' these people try to get in the backdoor at the cookout.

Lemme go put my useless degree back up in the kitchen cabinet now.

Naw, I gotta give this to them. it is much more palatable than black pop, r&b, and rap. I say this because Kpop is extremely sanitized.

The entire K-pop industry is PG-13. Meaning no vulgarity, no profanity, rarely any inuendo, no references to drugs, rarely references to alcohol. Even the individual acts are clean with them being immediately fired and blacklisted for any sex, drug, or violence scandals.

This is extremely palatable to the rest of the world. An entity like chris brown or bobby brown cannot exist in the kpop universe because of how problematic their lives were. Same could be said for a meg or city girls. So what the K-pop groups will do is they will steal their style and flow, but leave out the unpalatable elements.

This is mostly true, but they've definitely upped the sexuality in the last decade

If Koreans had to rely 100% on Traditional Korean music, and never had Black American Music to copy...

There would be ZERO "K-Pop".

ALL "Pop Music" is derived from Black American Music.

There is ZERO natural progression for Traditional Korean Music to become "K-Pop", ZERO.
